It had, printed on it, in words at the bottom.

Not to be photocopied or reproduced in any form. It was available in the public domain at my IP shop guys place so I guess its okay to post up here.

Its important enough...

I'll let you guys know when I find it...its buried in a pile of papers around here somewhere

I'll be sitting here patiently waiting.

I use Amoco Premier diesel in my Jetta TDI, as it was recommended by the folks at tdiclub.com as the best diesel sold in my area. I believe it has a lower sulfur content than other diesels. Should I avoid using this in the '79 240D? It costs more, so please tell me yes.

Should I keep adding Power Service to my 300D to keep from hurting the IP???

Ruining that would suck

I dont think you guys have anything to worry about.

Ultra low sulphur diesel has been sold here in the UK for years. You can really tell the difference. Better cold starting, esp. in the winter and of course less contamination of engine oil and longer engine oil life. Thats why longer service intervals have been introduced.

High pressure common rail or unit injector engines burning ULSD will not contaminate the motor oil anywhere near as much as for example, a tired 70's Benz with an Inline Bosch pump.

In short, would you rather your oil stay clean for longer and your engines bottom end last longer or your pump last forever and your crank wear quicker ?

ULSD is no problem. Use some fuel additive for peace of mind and because its wise to do so.

ULSD almost seems to burn warmer and cleaner. I take real notice of how my engines run, at different times of the year and with different quality diesel. Here in the UK fuel is so expensive, £1 per litre, thats about $2 per litre, fuel distributers try to bulk the fuel out (illegal of course) by adding paraffin, which burns at a higher temperature than diesel and is also a great liquid for cleaning. Not good when its cleaning your cylinder walls of lubrication. The amount of injection equipment failing in the UK at the moment, and over the past 2 years is shocking. And its usually the newer stuff, designed to run on ULS lower lubricity diesel thats going down. Any CRD or Unit injector diesel is running £2500 + to fix. Not so many Merc inline pumps or VE Rotary pumps failing as much, what does that tell you ?

Use ULSD if you can get it, add some conditioner every 1500 miles, drive it like you stole it and you'll be in good shape !

While the ULSD is much easier on the oil, etc. I REALLY do not think bosch would have released a document saying "expect problems here soon" and whatnot if they didn't have to.

If it didn't hurt their product...I would expect some "we are ULSD compatible!!!" news...not "uhh.....this is not good".


BTW I personally would rather have my IP wear slower than the bottom end...they seem to be matched quite nicely in the stock setup (if people are clocking over 300k on stock bottom ends easily)....

But thats just me....I am still lookin for that release...
